Book Description

Building your own applications is exciting but challenging, especially when tackling complex problems tied to advanced data structures and algorithms. This endeavor demands profound knowledge of the programming language as well as data structures and algorithms – precisely what this book offers to C# developers.

Starting with an introduction to algorithms, this book gradually immerses you in the world of arrays, lists, stacks, queues, dictionaries, and sets. Real-world examples, enriched with code snippets and illustrations, provide a practical understanding of these concepts. You’ll also learn how to sort arrays using various algorithms, setting a solid foundation for your programming expertise. As you progress through the book, you’ll venture into more complex data structures – trees and graphs – and discover algorithms for tasks such as determining the shortest path in a graph before advancing to see various algorithms in action, such as solving Sudoku.

By the end of the book, you’ll have learned how to use the C# language to build algorithmic components that are not only easy to understand and debug but also seamlessly applicable in various applications, spanning web and mobile platforms.
What you will learn

Understand the fundamentals of algorithms and their classification
Store data using arrays and lists, and explore various ways to sort arrays
Build enhanced applications with stacks, queues, hashtables, dictionaries, and sets
Create efficient applications with tree-related algorithms, such as for searching in a binary search tree
Boost solution efficiency with graphs, including finding the shortest path in the graph
Implement algorithms solving Tower of Hanoi and Sudoku games, generating fractals, and even guessing the title of this book

Who this book is for

This book is for developers looking to learn data structures and algorithms in C#. While basic programming skills and C# knowledge is useful, beginners will find value in the provided code snippets, illustrations, and detailed explanations, enhancing their programming skills. Advanced developers can use this book as a valuable resource for reusable code snippets, instead of writing algorithms from scratch each time.
